BETA Technologies

BETA Technologies (NYSE: BETA), datelined South Burlington, Vermont, builds the ALIA family: the CX300 conventional-takeoff electric aircraft and the A250 vertical-takeoff aircraft. In its August 12, 2026 results BETA said the CX300 had closed the FAA Requirements Definition phase. That is not a type certificate. BETA also said Loganair had signed a term sheet for five CX300s, with options for five more, and that cash and cash equivalents were $1,479.5 million on June 30, 2026, which it attributed to private financings and IPO proceeds. The release does not state the IPO amount.
